How our number plate auction works

Our number plate auction works much like other auction sites. We differ slightly in that buying a registration requires the completion and filing of DVLA paperwork and we handle all that for you.

Listing a registration

Selling a number plate in our auction is perfect for simplifying an otherwise complicated transfer procedure. It is quick and simple and it costs as little as £10 plus VAT.

  1. Sign in to your Regtransfers account or sign up for one
  2. Request a free valuation on the number plate you would like to list
  3. Once we have valued your number plate, click on the 'List in auction' button
  4. Set a starting price, reserve and any options you'd like
  5. Once you list your number plate it will appear in our 'Coming Soon' section for 5 days. After 5 days have passed the auction will then start and will last for 7 days
  6. When your registration is won, we will send you an email to confirm this
  7. Upload the documents requested by email into your account
  8. Receive your money by bank transfer or cheque

Listing fees

You pay two fees. First the listing fee to sell your registration in our auction (from £10+VAT) and when sold the selling fee (a percentage of the sale value). Full details can be found on our Auction fees page.

Auctioneer's fees

There are no auction fees to pay when you win. A deposit of 10% of the winning bid (or £100 whichever is the greater) will be taken and then you pay the balance plus the £80 Transfer Fee, and VAT if applicable, within seven days.
